YOG wee bittie spoilers and names again

I've got it and I've read it! many smiley faces and some of lols.
Especially the rant about education. I'm still thinking and I may just
have to read it all over again so I've not got much to say yet. But I
will say I think Ruskin is a grand name considering.
Some more RP names. I had a winged person who went by the
nickname of Lark because he was always up for one. A current
favourite is Massaccio Saracini (Massachio). He's a Sienese
nobleman, Saracini is a real family name from the Siena nobility,
Massaccio is from Tomaso and means Mad Tom, its the name of a
painter. Nobles can get away with poncy names of course, I mean
its realistic -- not that the other players don't take the piss. I had
one in a Star Wars game called Tristram Mark Alexander
Djadiningrat van de Leeow (the last two belonging to real
aforementioned people). Real aristos have sillier names than you
could make up -- Lord Dunsany was a Drax Plunket, and longer,
like archaeologist General Augustus Lane Fox Pitt Rivers and a
whole pack of people who repeat Tollemache two three or four
times in the course of their names. Go back to the Monty Python
election results sketch, its all true, they might as well be called
Ole Ptang Ptang Biscuit Barrel.
Ven.
You are trapped in that bright moment where you learned your doom.
